Contextual Overview
1 Do you know the time when the wild goats of the rock bear? Do you observe the calving of deer? 2 Can you tell the months they fulfill; or do you know the time for their bearing, 3 when they crouch and bring forth; they send out their pangs? 4 Their sons are strong; they multiply with grain; they go forth and do not return to them. 5 Who has sent out the wild ass free, or who has loosened the bands of the wild ass? 6 To whom I have assigned the desert for his home, and the salt land for his dwellings? 7 He laughs at the roar of the city; he does not hear the driver's shouts; 8 he seeks out mountains for his pasture; and he searches after every green thing. 9 Will the wild ox consent to be your servant, or spend the night by your feed-trough? 10 Can you tie the wild ox in the furrow with his rope? Or will he harrow the valleys for you?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wilt thou believe him that he will bring home thy seed?.... Draw in the cart, and bring home the ripe sheaves of corn, as the tame ox does? no; thou knowest him too well to believe he will bring it home in safety;
and gather [it into] thy barn; to be trodden out, which used to be done by oxen in those times: if therefore Job could not manage such unruly creatures as the wild ass and the wild ox, and make them serviceable to him, how unfit must he be to govern the world, or to direct in the affairs of Providence?
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Wilt thou believe him? - That is, wilt thou trust him with the productions of the field? The idea is, that he was an untamed and unsubdued animal. He could not be governed, like the camel or the ox. If the sheaves of the harvest were laid on him, there would be no certainty that he would convey them where the farmer wished them.
And gather it into thy barn? - Or, rather, âto thy threshing-floor,â for so the word used here (××¨× goÌren) means. It was not common to gather a harvest into a barn, but it was usually collected on a hard-trod place and there threshed and winnowed. For the use of the word, see Ruth 3:2; Judges 6:37; Numbers 18:30; Isaiah 21:10.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 39:12. That he will bring home thy seed — Thou canst make no domestic nor agricultural use of him.
